Adventure for Love's Flavor in SoHo

Cut out greeting cards from this Valentine’s Day when you treat the sweetheart in your life with a decadent date night. Sample the swoon-inducing flavors of Hotel Hugo’s favorite neighborhood, SoHo!

Boqueria

Named in honor of the famous open-air markets of Barcelona, chef Marc Vidal’s Spanish-style joint delivers the authentic flavor of tapas and refreshing sangria. These perfectly shareable dishes can only be topped with a couple of hot churros, luscious hot chocolate, and a kiss.

The Ear Inn

It could just be the oldest bar still serving in Manhattan. It’s been a favorite of dashing characters hauling fish from the docks, and there’s plenty of vintage memory left right in place. Pull up at a wobbly table, grab two crayons, and best your date with a friendly round of Tic Tac Toe.

508 GastroBrewery

If this date is more about resting your elbows on the glass countertop and interrogating the roster of sudsy beers, 508 GastroBrewery might be the right choice. Brewed in the basement under your feet, this SoHo establishment has everything from light and sweet Belgians to feisty IPAs.
